Answer :
Explanation :
Out of 4 fruits, any 3 are chosen by 4 families.So the combinations areApple - A Cherries - C Banana - B Grapes - G1) ACB2) ACG3) BCG4) GAB By 2nd condition, Miller family uses either i)ACB or ii)ACGNow we have Robin, Mandy and Miller who uses apples (ACB,ACG,GAB)while Miller and Mandy both uses A and C. That leaves GAB for Robin. By 3rd condition Flure uses either C or G. So if we leave out the terms containing both C and G, we are left with ACB and GAB Now, for the time being let's suppose Robin is not a Flure.So ACB is taken by Flure. So ACG has to be Miller and that leaves BCG to be Clark. So we get Robin - Jacob(GAB). By 4th and 2nd conditions Erica and Mandy belong to the first two. That leaves Stacy - Clark(BCG). By 2nd condition Mandy is not a Miller, so we get Mandy - Flure(ACB) and that leaves Erica - Miller(ACG).

Answer : 3. "9"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 9 Explanation: The given expression can be simplified as 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) The expression can be simplified further by the order of operations, using BODMAS rule. First evaluate Parentheses/Brackets, then evaluate Exponents/Orders, then evaluate Multiplication-Division, and finally evaluate Addition-Subtraction. Now, the expression becomes 6 ÷ 2 (3) According to the order of operations, division and multiplication have the same precedence, so the correct order is to evaluate from left to right. First take 6 and divide it by 2, and then multiply by 3. 6 ÷ 2 × 3 = 3 × 3 = 9 But not 6÷2×3 = 6 ÷ 6 = 1 Hence, 6 ÷ 2 (1 + 2) = 9.

Answer : 4. "13.742% gain"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 13.742% gain Explanation: Let CP = 100,42 % increase => SP = 14210 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.0582nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742, So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.
